Republicans get SERVED.By JGillman, Section News
Tis true... The Republicans in congress have just been 'served'.
Rear ends on a platter, placed at a disadvantage, made to look mushy..yada yada. Republicans lost an advantage to the president last night because they don't yet understand that some things have deeper meanings. Ronald Reagan said it best when he asked:
"Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?" So following the election of November 2010, and the clarified will of the people, it would seem an opportune time to demonstrate that new clarity in a bold and cutting manner. The smallest section of the legislative chambers reflecting who was shown to be on the wrong side of the country with regard to their legislative maneuvering on such things as health care, energy, and social policy. It could have been so clear in the televised fashion, that change did indeed happen. First, from a more free market type of economy, to a top down planned one. Then from a majority in the house to a decisive minority as a result of that very move. Bold differences separate the lunacy on the left to the conservative ideals of the right. And it happens here as well. (more below)
Lansing also changed in 2010. We gained leverage in the state house and senate. Seemingly at first, a complete roll, but we are now seeing some of the same central planning practices used by the new governor's predecessors. The worsening of those being made by proposed expansions in what are being called "partnerships".
Public / Private Partnerships. Indeed, the executive himself has had a great deal of experience in business, being on the side of the business recipient, in the realm of public largess. He designed the very program that inserts the will of bureaucrats into the marketplace. His creation, not unlike many around the country provides a very liberal programming attempt at planning who succeeds, and who does not. Amazingly, Mr Snyder would still exclaim "we need to stop picking winners," as he oh-so accurately pins the taxpayer funded tail on the donkey of enterprise in Michigan. And that gray in between area that some folks call 'moderation', a not-quite fully liberal Democrat, and certainly not conservative Republican, is accepted as ok dokey by the party currently in the legislature.
As queried in another post previously: "Does this mean scraping all business taxes? Becoming a right-to-work state? Does it mean a rigorous review of every state regulation currently on the books to ensure none block or seriously hinder economic growth? Perhaps." The end result of the November election could not possibly be mistaken as a "lets take the bad milquetoast governance and expand upon it," but rather "make the bold and necessary decisions to properly apply the peoples' will." The moderate way has gotten the Republican party served repeatedly in the last 80 years. The moderate Republicans have not served the proper role of government well, and made way for the 'progressive' changes that plague us now in a poor tax policy, demonstrable failure to adhere to individual rights, and a nation and state going broke. Going along with a getting-along non-partisan scenario is bad business. If the voters want liberal policies, they will elect liberal Democrats. If they see no difference, they will likely go with the professionals. The folks who elected the 'conservative slate' are already rightfully concerned their efforts have been marginalized by a shrewd president who understands how to dismiss the power of majorities with sleight of hand. In Washington DC, it may have set the president's agenda up to be perceived as acceptable by the legislative body as a whole, because there was no delineation in ranks. In Lansing, it is the blind acceptance of failed moderate policies that could lose the next house to the Democrats in 2012 for the Republicans.
